Vollou Ensures Accurate Set Reporting at Ultra Europe - Split 2025

At Ultra Europe 2025 the Vollou app captured DJ sets automatically, replacing manual track lists with verified data and moving the festival scene closer to truly fair royalty payments.

Vollou goes live on the Adriatic coast

Ultra Europe’s Split edition filled Park Mladeži stadium from 11 to 13 July 2025. Before sunrise beach sessions and peak-time main-stage moments alike, DJs opened a single app - Vollou and let it listen. No extra hardware, no cables, no steep learning curve: the software matched each song to its fingerprint database and built a timestamped playlist in the background.

An equal playing field for every performer

For international headliners such as Martin Garrix, Armin van Buuren and Hardwell, the big win is certainty. Whether they premiere a new single or drop an obscure edit, every selection is logged so writers, producers and publishers have an indisputable record of the performance.

Newcomers on the Resistance and beach stages gain the same protection; their music sits in the same report as the superstars’, ending the long-standing imbalance that often left emerging creators without evidence to claim royalties.

From app to verified report, no guesswork required

Vollou gives DJs an automated reporting tool that removes the need for handwritten setlists or memory-based reconstructions, documents that are slow to compile and prone to errors or complete omission. When a set finishes, organisers and collection societies receive a machine-generated spreadsheet listing every track, its writers and its rights holders, ready for immediate processing.

A template for the global festival calendar

Ultra Split is only one stop on a busy 2025 season that already includes Miami, London, Split, Las Vegas, Ibiza and Macau. The workflow never changes: the same phone, the same tap-and-play routine. By leveraging devices that DJs already carry, Vollou avoids the cost barrier that once confined real-time reporting to the largest venues and brings automated accuracy to clubs and open-air stages alike.

Looking ahead

With the festival cycle still in full swing, Vollou is scheduled to support upcoming events from Tomorrowland in Belgium to Romania’s Untold Festival.

In practical terms, every new stage or DJ that adopts the system shortens the gap between performance and payment, empowering both global stars and first-time producers. Every performance that is tracked brings the industry one step closer to fair royalty distribution, ensuring artists of all sizes receive the compensation they deserve.
